G-Rated Academy Award Winning Movies

Here is a list of every G-rated Academy Award winning movie since 1968 (the year that the modern rating system was established). The list does not include a few earlier movies that were retroactively rated. You'll probably notice the evolution to more and more strict criteria for the G rating over time. In 1968 four G-rated movies won Academy Awards. Today it averages about one every two years. Originally, the G rating was given to any movie that didn't contain anything particularly objectionable. By the late 1970's, only movies directed at children typically received a G rating. Later, it practically became a requirement that G rated movies be animated. Now even animated movies like Happy Feet and Up can't get a G rating.
